Happening* and Incidents of n Week Arouud tbe City. Mrs. W. C. Benet has returned to Charleston, accompanied by ber father, Judge McGowan. Mrs. Wade R. Cotbran, of Greenwood speni several days Id tbe city last week visiting Dr. and Mrs. K. E Harrison. Dr. J. Lowrie Wilson and Mr. W. A. Templeton went up to Anderson yesterday to attend Presbytery that convenes lu that city. They expect to return on Friday. It is now Lewis Russeil, D. D. S. Dr. Russell got home last weett looking well, and delighted an were his frleods to see him, to get back to old Abbeville again. He bas not decided where he will locate as yet. Mr. Eucene McS. DuPre, of Clemson College, was In town one day last week. Dr. Clifton preached last Sunday night to a very large congregation. His subject was /Innnrlnnllv " Next Saturday ttie little folks will have t? big time, (weather permitting), there will bt an Easter egg hunt at Kiugh's Park, and there will be lots of beautilul eggs, and a "prize egg." The hunt will begin ai 0 o'clock p. ra. ' Mrs. A. Cohen spent several days last week . with her parents In Athens, Ua. , Dr. Claude C. Gambrell Is at his old stand j (Speed's) and his many Iriends are only to I glad to bee him home *galn. lie is watUiug to serve them with the same genial smile, at. j of yore. Mrs. J. F. Knight who has been visiting her fe parents in Tallahassee, Fla., (or several weeks U is expected home tomorrow. Mrs. Knight leaves her lather (wtio nas oetn qune bioa; ' somewhat better. The bicycle track ir iu first rate condition, the grand stand bus been built and the next thing la order, is ? meet of the wheelmen, races, and a good time generally. Next Sunday Is Easier and at least two ol our churches,the Methodist aud Episcopalian will be decorated for that Joyous occasion, and especial music and services appropriate to the day are being prepared. Miss Mattle Brown, oI Belton, S. C.. who has been the guest of her friend Mrs. \V. R. Bullock for the past two weeks returned to her home Monday. Miss Brown is one ol the most attractive and accomplished young ladies that ever visited our city, and during her short stay made mauy friends and admirers. Abbeville has at least her share of societies, secret and others. There Is one more we need, one that we know would have at tne outset a | large membership. We speak oi a "society for the prevention of cruelty to .animals." It Is a burning shame and a disgrace to our boasted civlllzntiou, tbat we allow the many cases of cruelty to poor dumb creatures, that come to our notice, almost dully, to go unnoticed and unpunished. A half starved horse or mule with barely life enougu left to drag, Is often seen on our streets. being made to do tt)e work of an wnlmal that has nud the proper ieed and attentlou. These creatures, made by the same Haud tbat created us, the superior beings, could tbeyjlor only a short while, be endured with speech. pour fourth a taleoi misery tbat would make us their friends and protector*, Indeed, as it is, only their friends make the appeal for them, and In so doing, Busgest the organization of the above men tloned society. One of Abbeville's greatest needs Just now is electric lights, and that just as soou as they can he secured. We learn tbat there Is a company, or rather that there will be one organized at once, for the purpose of supplying this need, provided the required patronage csn be secured. As we understand it the cost of lighting tbe city under the present system Is about $1,800 ; with a small additional cost, we could have our streets lighted by electricity. Abbeville Is growing surely and steadily, and the time has come, tor a better system 01 lighting her streets. We have tbe cotton mill, the water works will ^oon be completed, a Qre department Is now assured, let the electric lights come at the earliest possible moment. MIssLula Haddon.of Due West, Is visiting ber cousin Miss Belle Haddon. r Mrs. J. S. C'othran, of Greenville, Is visiting ber son Mr. W. S. Cotbran. There is an effort now being made to estabfllsh a steam laundry here. One of our enterprising young business men is now in correspondence with parties with this end in view. It is very probable that this much needed enterprise will be started at an early date. The dogwoods are in bloom and the disciples of Isaac waitou are getting ready ior a raiu on the finny tribe.

I Men In every department are daily pusblog j the ditlerent lines of work, anil we can now | begin 10 count ou the time when everything j will be ready for business. ! The machinery that has been ordered has i nearly all arrived. i i The big pump is being put iu place, when | the water may be pumped Into the big tanks j i in the tower. ! The looms, the spindles, the cards, and the ] i other machinery nave been placed on the j different floors. | lO.iWy spindles have been provided for, leav| iut: tloor space for uineteen frames of 224 j spindles per frame, or unoccupied space lor | [ 1,250addition.!I spindles. The exact cap"city ; of the mill is estimated to be 14.330 spindle- i I By running the spinning department day | and night the capacity win be doubled. I1 i deemed unwise to run the looms at nig'1 ! but 11 a loom shed is built sufficiently large "J? accommodate 506 Iooiuk which are to be run in day lighi, the consumption of cottou would be iiiy,0)0 pounds per week. With the present supply jf machinery running I unly about one-thirds ol that amount wm be! ueeded. At preseut the money is not in sight to fnulfM which jirn kiitm it* /..mm ! at a later day. Theembamunent at the lower edge of the; lake where it was weakest, is being strength-1 filed by the addition ol earth. Pipes lor the ! drainage of the mill yard have been laid un- | der the poud, aud when tue pi ud is full the j water will cover tioth the sewer pipes and the | drain pipes, aud wuicb pipes will pass under i the water. The temporary dam which was placed at j the loot ot the hill has been removed, aud the water will liereafier rest against the base j of tue bill. This change makes at least that' part of the reservoir absolutely safe from | coutingenc'es, aud gives room lor many auditioual thousand gallons of water. The' earth which was used to make the temporary ' dam now streugthens the weaker side next to the creek. The lake, when full, will average from seven j to ten teet In depth, aud includes in area more than an acre of suiface. The makers ol the pump made a mistake In j shipping It by the Southern instead of the Seaboard Air Line, aud being very heavy i considerable trouble is experienced in getting J it to the mill. The whole pump weighed ' 'J.OOO pounds. About 7.000 pounds was iu one piece. Messrs. A. M. Hill & Sons undertook to move it. The first day they got It to within a lew yards of the crossing ol the S. A. L. I irack. in going down a little slant, the machine. being top heavy, tumbled off the wag on. * rom mat place 10 tne pump nouse it is being rolled on skids. About midday yesterday it had been carried to the brow of the hill looking down to the mill. It was thought that the men at work moving it, would get it home by the close of the day yesterday. The road from the old depot to the mill is an uneven one and it is hard to haul heavy freight over it. ? ? NINETY-SIX, Sprint Day?Good Serinou?Meeting | of Fresbylery?Visitor*, Ac. Ninety-Six, S.

We notice a growing habit with tbe children of the town to pluck flowers from the graveyard. Parents should impress the (act on the minds or tbelr children that this Is wrong. Those flowers have been planted on the graves of loved ones by hands that consider them sacred. Surely we would not go nto a frleud's flower garden and pluck the blooming flowers?
